CURRENT SUMMER BEAUTY FAVOURITES

There are quite a few products which I have been enjoying this Summer, most of my favourites either refresh, hydrate or enhance the skin. I'm not one to stick to the same products all month, as I love to try new things but here are some of my current loves.
Origins Ginzing Face Mask – I’m really into my face masks, I like to apply them once or twice a week and this is the one I’m reaching for the most recently. I’m sure you are supposed to apply this in the mornings to awaken skin but I like to apply this in the evenings after taking off my make-up to give my skin an instant pick me up. It’s a quick 10 minute mask which you tissue off, but I like to leave it on until I do the rest of my evening skincare routine as it just melts into your skin. It brightens dull and tired skin and the formula is really cooling. I’ve written a whole blog post on my thoughts here.
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche – This is the newest fragrance in my collection, I purchased it during a shopping trip to Bicester Outlet Village, so I got it for a bargain price. I have many perfumes but this scent just reminds me of summer, the fragrance is light and fresh and is perfect for holidays. If you love coconut, go and try it! See what else I bought from Bicester here.
Loccitane Almond Shower Oil – Loccitane Almond Shower Oil is a constant favourite in my collection, but I picked up the bigger sized bottle with a pump again from Bicester Outlet Village. The pump makes it so much easier to use and I don’t have to worry about using too much and wasting the product. The scent is heavenly, I reserve this for special occasions and times when I want to pamper myself. The formula comes out as an oil but once it's mixed with water it foams up nicely. I would definitely go and repurchase the eco-refill after using this up as it leaves my skin with a silky smooth texture.
Essie Hide & Go Chic Nail Polish – I have recently been enjoying wearing the colour blue on my nails, this Essie shade called 'Hide & Go Chic' which I got in a Beauty Box has to be my recent favourite. I have been wearing it as a base and using a different colour on an accent nail. The Essie polishes are easy to apply, they do chip a little on my nails, but I love the shiny finish they leave.
Charlotte Tilbury Bar of Gold Highlighter – This was my first taste of Charlotte Tilbury make-up and I was really impressed with the quality of the products. The packaging is so luxe and the product itself looks flawless on the skin. This is great for the Summer months and you can use it on your body too. I can't seem to find this on the website now, as they did say it wasn't going to be around for much longer. Read my full review here. I now have my eyes on the Filmstars on the go eye-cheek-&-lip palettes especially the Breakfast at Tiffanys one.
Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Jelly – I bought this after finishing my Hydraluron serum. I like to use this in the evenings before moisturising and it makes my skin feel plump and revitalised overnight. It’s not greasy at all and it sinks straight into the skin. The packaging is cleverly designed and allows you to dispense just enough in one pump. My friend bought me the serum for my birthday knowing how much I liked it and I have been using them together every night. It's great for all skin types and you can instantly see a difference to dry skin.

SEE BY CHLOE EAU FRAICHE

Chloe Eau De Parfum was one of the first perfumes I ever wore in my early teens and still is one of my favourites to this day. I have continued to buy and receive Chloe fragrances over the years and haven’t found one which I haven’t liked, a couple of my favourites including the Rose edition and Love collection. See by Chloe was introduced in 2012 as the younger but still sophisticated scent to sit beside the main range. I knew I was going to like it, but when I did eventually smell it on a beauty counter I knew I had to take it home as the scent was just me.
See by Chloe’s newest member is Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette Spray, which is the fresher and lighter version. Its notes include; Apple Blossom as the top notes, Water Hyacinth and Jasmine as the middle notes and Vetiver as the base notes. The scent is really feminine and floral, whilst staying modern and not over powering at all.
My signature scent recently ran out so I decided to buy this limited edition in duty free back in May and I haven’t worn anything since, which is strange for me as I normally like to switch up my fragrance every day. It’s the perfect Spring/Summer fragrance and I just can’t get enough of this scent, I don’t walk out the door without it. The only downside to this scent is that it doesn’t stay very long on the skin, or at least I can’t smell it throughout the day like you can with some perfumes. But I don’t mind spraying more, I guess if you want the scent to stick around go with the original version.
Apart from the fragrance itself, I really like the shape of the bottle – a gorgeous, iconic birdcage, which looks high-end pretty on any dressing table. I wish I had bought the same size bottle as I have in the original fragrance as I know I’m going to need to buy another bottle as I adore it that much. It is definitely going to be a favourite for a long time to come.
I love the look of the new fragrance from Chloe called Love Story which is coming out in September, I’m sure this one will be making it to my collection in no time.
You can buy See by Chloe Eau Fraiche 50ml or 75ml from large department stores and online.
